I like a good bit of traditional Shakespeare but equally I think there's room for creativity and innovative approaches. I'm just about to start directing Shakespeare for Kidz: The Dream - it's a simplified version of Midsummernights Dream for 8 - 11 year olds.

Why 'kidz' instead of 'kids'?
Sorry, just being picky now.
I'm sure your production won't be spoken like the example that Jaysay posted. There's a difference between an adapted version for young children and making a mockery of the original.
